“…As Wyn (2015) has noted, one of the most significant gaps being addressed in youth research is regarding young people's relationships to people and place as a core aspect of managing increasingly fluid, unstable and mobile lives. This work examines, in particular, place attachment in the context of immobilities, aspirations, and rural/urban/neighbourhood/township belongings and identifications (Butler, 2016; Risør & Arteaga Pérez, 2018; Swartz, Hamilton Harding, & De Lannoy, 2012) but has not yet connected deeply with transnational mobility scholarship. Little is known about how transnational mobility figures in young people's efforts to be connected, included and engaged in their local social worlds and through their mobile place‐making practices (Wyn, 2015), especially as these become more dispersed spatially and less predictable temporally (Woodman & Wyn, 2015).…”

Transnational mobility is increasingly presented to middle-class youth globally as a way to secure economic futures in precarious times by enhancing educational and employment opportunities. However, little is said about the benefits and impacts of mobility for social and intimate life and specifically how it is situated within, disruptive of, or incorporated into young people's ideas about relationships as they navigate uncertain pathways to adulthood. This paper critically reviews and integrates migration and youth studies scholarship to consider how contemporary youth mobility can be understood as disrupting standard migration-and life-course conventions about intimate relationships. It focuses particularly on questions of temporality, proximity and synchronicity or orthodoxies of 'the right time' and 'the right place' to 'settle down', in the construction and maintenance of both intimate connections to people and attachments to places. It explores how contemporary youth mobility can be seen to complicate notions of the appropriate staging and chronology for establishing different relationships. It raises questions about synchronicity, continuity and proximity as conditions of intimacy and considers how mobility potentially disrupts gendered and heteronormative life courses to provide both welcome freedoms and new challenges, as well as the emergence of new processes of transnational intergenerational care circulation.

“…This raises the question why would someone befriend a peer he or she does not trust. Risør and Arteaga-Pérez (2018) conducted a study with youth in poor, urban, crime-ridden neighborhoods in Chile. They found that youth turn to close relations with friends as spaces of belonging.…”

“…The more stable and positive the image one has of oneself, the more confident one feels to get closer to and trust others, which enables a better self-disclosure (McCarthy et al, 2017). Both trust and self-disclosure also facilitate giving and receiving feedback, which allows adjusting one’s self-image and fosters a sense of belonging (Risør & Arteaga-Pérez, 2018). However, not all adolescents necessarily achieve this.…”

This study explores the subjective experiences and perceptions related to intimacy in friendships in a group of aggressive-popular adolescents in urban schools characterized by high rates of community violence. Individual interviews were conducted with 12 volunteering adolescents (12–14 years old). Procedures from grounded theory were used to enable thematic coding, departing from a social identity, socio-emotional, and ecological perspective. The narratives by adolescents highlighted the influence the social environment in which they grew had on individual psychological conditions that shape their emotional responses, self-concept, and beliefs. They exhibit aggressive behavior and to value popularity as an adaptive form of social survival, and belonging. Their social behavior has influence on their friendships face challenges, especially regarding the perception of envy from friends and the associated self-disclosure constraints when individuals are involved in high-violence contexts.

“…Para efectos de nuestro objetivo, a continuación destacamos la importancia del carácter procesual de la intimidad como eje clave para acercarnos a ésta. En primer lugar, son relevantes desde esta perspectiva elaboraciones recientes "intimidades afectivas" (Kolehmainen et al, 2022) que comprenden las intimidades como campo de producción y búsqueda de relaciones significativas que, en contextos de precariedad económica e incertidumbre, están atravesadas por el deseo de un proyecto de futuro que se negocia cotidianamente con atisbos de optimismo y desencanto (Risør;Arteaga, 2018;Freeman, 2020). En concreto, desde esta óptica se abordan aquellas relaciones que se entienden como libremente reconocidas y en las que se plasman los deseos y sueños por salir de un presente precario para sumarse 1 Traducción propia.…”

Resumen Si bien hace décadas se han desarrollado estudios acerca de los cambios contemporáneos en las configuraciones de la intimidad, en Chile se ha dado poca atención a los cambios en la intimidad de las mujeres, particularmente aquellas pertenecientes a estratos económicos bajos. Teniendo como base nuestras investigaciones etnográficas, y profundizando en las vidas de dos mujeres, en este artículo reflexionamos sobre el camino hacia la intimidad como un proceso que nuestras interlocutoras anhelan. La intimidad se percibe como una meta concreta en cuanto a sus relaciones significativas, mientras que se entiende de manera menos clara en relación a “sí mismas”. Prestamos especial atención a las materialidades y visiones de futuro. Concluimos que existe un deseo incipiente de una intimidad orientada a sí mismas y un espacio y tiempo propios, si bien el contenido y posibles formas de estas intimidades se presentan como futuros indeterminados.
